Chinggis Khan Statue and Song and Dance performance

We contine our big Thursday touring day with a stop at the Chinggis Khan monument, camel rides and arriving in Ulaanbaatar in time for a song and dance performance.

The dancing gods

The song and dance performance was the only one being scheduled this week. There were some visiting dignitaries from Korea visiting Mongolia so we joined them and a smattering of a few others in a small but intimate 100 seat theater.

Check out the headdress

This show is given nightly during the summer tourist season. This night there were probably 40 - 45 in attendance.

Comic relief

The photos show how the rest of this day gave our daughters a quick immersion into Mongolian sights and culture.
